Bosh Jigsaw 1587AVS

[Keye]

This has been a really good jigsaw for a long time. The "handle", sure this is not the proper name, which you pull up and turn to loosen the bade, it has a rachet action, and then turn the opposite direction and push down to tighten is giving a problem. I do not want to start taking it apart yet because after some playing around with it I am able to change a blade

Would like help from someone familiar with this jijgsaw.

Thanks, have not had a chance to watch yet. Hopefully it will give me the confidence to try the repair. Found a source for the obsolete ratchet but it will take 3 weeks at best to arrive.
